All healthy relationships include some levels of trust and respect. But power relationships are a breed apart. Power relationships are based on especially deep levels of mutual respect and trust … plus the ultimate personality power tool - authenticity. Here are some tools to help you create the deep levels of authenticity found in power relationships. Power Tool 1. Relaxation This may seem simple, but is very important. A genuine smile presents an open door to communication. Power Tool 2. Power Listening If you have trouble communicating clearly with others, you may want to try the following power tool: Mirror their thoughts back to them, and ask them if you properly understood what they said. The simplest way to do is is to paraphrase what they just said to you, and ask them if you properly understood what they said. Another good power tool is this: As the other person speaks, pay close attention to their expressions and body language. Try to pick up the deeper emotions revealed by their speech patterns. This is the essence of one especially powerful personal empowerment tool known as NLP (neuro linguistic programming). Power Tool 3. Provide Recognition _____________________________________________

Valentine's Day may be over, but building and maintaining a great relationship with your special someone is an all-the-time endeavor. Relationships are critical to success in our careers and in our personal lives. The following simple process is one you can use for ANY relationship--personal, professional, coworker, boss, friend or business partner. If we really care about a relationship, we have to regularly check on how we're doing. We can't depend upon the other party to always tell us what's working and what's not. Here's the sequence: Ask them, "On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate our relationship?" And then wait for the answer. If they're slow to respond, you may want to jump into the silence. Resist that temptation. If they rate your relationship anything less than ten, ask, "What would it take to make it a ten?" Again, it's worth the wait for answers that will give you important insight into what the other person wants and needs. Assumptions can wound or even kill the best of relationships. These simple questions can keep assumptions from hurting your relationship and help you develop a deeper, more fulfilling one. It may seem uncomfortable at first, but it gets easier. It's often a conversation that will continue over several sessions. It's a great springboard for some in-depth discussions, so get ready for some breakthroughs. Action Point. Go ahead and ask the questions with your loved one. Listen carefully. As we like to say, "feedback is the breakfast of champions," and using this process can only help you win. _____________________________________________

Your Brain Prefers
Until recently scientists assumed that the connections to the pleasure centers of the brain responded to what people like. But now there lots of new evidence that the brain's reward pathways respond much more strongly to unexpected stimuli, instead of pleasurable effects. That is -- your brain prefers surprise to pleasure! Researchers at Emory University and Baylor College of Medicine used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to measure changes in brain activity in response to a sequence of pleasurable stimuli -- in this case, fruit juice and water. In the study a computer-controlled device squirted fruit juice and water into the mouths of the research participants. The patterns of juice and water squirts were either predictable, or completely unpredictable. Contrary to the researcher's expectations, the human reward pathways in the brain responded most strongly to the unpredictable sequence of squirts "We find that so-called pleasure centers in the brain do not react equally to any pleasurable substance, but instead react more strongly when the pleasures are unexpected," researcher Berns said. "This means that the brain finds unexpected pleasures more rewarding than expected ones, and it may have little to do with what people say they like." Take this into your relationships!
